Odd Man Out (Once Upon an M/M Romance #4)

They say beauty only runs skin deep… but what if no one bothers to look beneath the surface?
Omega Joel has always been a bit of an odd duck. A square peg, an eccentric… a misfit. He doesn’t fit into his mother’s perfect new family, he doesn’t fit in with the preppy rich kids at school, and as he gets older and heads off for college, he knows with certainty that he doesn’t fit into anyone’s idea of a love interest. Not that it matters anyway, because no alpha will ever compare to his best friend, Toban. Toban has always been there for him, is the only person who feels right—which means that he is strictly off-limits. Nothing in the world can make Joel jeopardize that friendship. It’s just not worth the risk.
Alpha Toban is a good friend… and he reminds himself of this daily. Friends watch out for each other, they protect each other, and they most certainly do not fall in love. Toban has been in love with Joel pretty much since the first moment he laid eyes on him, but he knows that he’ll never be good enough for the smart and sexy omega. When they get to college, he finds the new dating pool is more like an ocean, and if he’s not careful, Joel could easily drown. Fending off the omega’s potential suitors quickly becomes a full-time job. One run-in with a handsy bully could spoil their friendship for good… or maybe it could lead them to an even more promising future.
Odd Man Out is the fourth standalone book in the Once Upon an M/M Romance series by Colbie Dunbar and Trisha Linde. Super sweet with knotty heat, Odd Man Out tells a story about love and loyalty, friendship and family, and the middle ground where they all blur together. The Ugly Duckling is about to get an mpreg twist in this retelling of a classic tale, except this time… with babies. Because what fairytale is complete without a happily ever after?
